Couldn't agree more... the Holden design is superior in almost every respect - even the less fussy catch to stop them bouncing when open, to the proper door style lock rather than a flimsy spring loaded hardware store type catch on the Ford.
The GM-H hatch is also a simpler roof fitting compared with the Canadian type.
It's interesting the Kiwis decided to go a different way and designed a sliding hatch as can be seen in post #17 by Hanno in
this thread.
